talk about chuck hagel. he gave a really poor performance at his confirmation hearing last week. both sides can pretty much agree with that. that's coming from folks like leon panetta. leon panetta actually defending him yesterday. let's take a listen to him. >> it's pretty obvious that the political knives were out for chuck hagel. what disappointed me is that they talked a lot about past quotes but what about what a secretary of defense is confronting today? what about the war in afghanistan? what about the war on terrorism? what about the budget sequester? >> ruth, what do you think, does panetta have a point there? >> i think he totally has a point. i think that the thing that was striking about the hague will confirmation hearing was the really poor performance on both sides. yes, the nominee did a terrible job answering entirely predictable questions and handling those, but also, the senators did a predictable but also very poor job of probing seriously his views, not just what he said in the past, but his views on the various things that will face the secretary of defense

you've said you're going to vote against any kind of confirmation for chuck hagel. are there the votes to keep him from ultimately being confirmed? >> i think that you can't count all the votes right now, soledad. i heard you say there are two republicans committed to vote for him. that's not very many. and there are a lot of democrats that have to be concerned with some of the israeli friends and concern they have had consistently with senator hagel in terms of things he has said. when senator cruz came out on the program, on the interview, or had an interview, recorded an interview, and it was really bad because he agreed with the interviewer that the united states is the world's bully. he agreed that israel is not a friend. the words they used were sickeningly slaughter and all these insulting things to israel. i can't help but think there are a lot of people having a hard time on the democrat side confirming chuck hagel. after all, he's the one who has said over and over again that he's been supporting of the iranians. he is only one of two in the entire senate
